I've been making significant (for me) progress on my Cadence socks that I'm knitting for Solidsocks KAL, SKA October Sockdown, and VeryBusyMonkey KAL on Ravelry. First time using Cascade Heritage sock yarn, and I can honestly say I will be using this yarn again in the future. I like the feel of the yarn as well as the stitch definition--it highlights the lace in the pattern very well. Progress pic:

I'm also having a yarn giveaway! To be entered to win, all you need to do is one of the following: 1) Leave a comment here or 2) Leave a comment on the Ravelry thread I created for this giveaway. What's the prize? A skein of Pagewood Farm Glacier Bay sock yarn, in the "Mocha" colorway. I thought it was a pretty perfect colorway for fall:-) Good luck! PS--I will be picking the winner via Random Number Generator on Sunday, October 27th, so you have plenty of time to enter.

Just got an email from Lorna's Laces announcing their new pattern collection, the Davenport Collection, designed by Laura Chau. I immediately fell in love with Terauley, a gorgeous shawl that can be knit using a skein of Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock. Pattern purchased, and I can't wait to cast on. I'm thinking of using either my Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock in the Whidby Island color or my SpaceCadet Creations Celeste yarn. Both of those have pretty good yardage, but I'm leaning towards the LL.

Making lots of progress on my Cadence socks for SolidSocks and SKA KALs. *Almost* to the heel flap of sock #1, and I am really enjoying knitting with Cascade Heritage. First time knitting with it, and I will definitely use it again. Progress pic from just now:
